City Run by Children?

The Toronto city council made headlines last year when they couldn't complete a photo shoot because the councillors were complaining about the seating arrangement. Seems like a childish way to handle a photo shoot, yes?

If you're not familiar with local Toronto politics, Councillor Rob Ford is the one who made the comment a few weeks ago:
"Those Oriental people work like dogs ... they sleep beside their machines,'' he said. "The Oriental people, they're slowly taking over ... they're hard, hard workers."
He's also the one who was arrested a few days ago on charges of assault and threatening death (to his wife).

Tonight I came across a funny video on YouTube that demonstrates Ford's utterly juvenile behaviour while being interviewed by the press. It appears Globe and Mail reporter John Barber mouthed the words "fat f#ck" to Rob Ford when he wasn't getting a straight answer from Ford. You can watch the video to see how Ford reacts ;)
